Abstract:

The main problem of the current paper is attributed to the following inquiries: Are secondary school students distinguished for being able to avoid the ambiguous and meaningless situations? Are they distinguished for having high tendency towardsenhancing cognitive awareness in the framework of their perception of cognitive structure? Are they able to avoid all that calls into question in the certainty of their cognitive construct? Are they characterized by a disposition to organize their conduct and behavior by means of visualizing results and explaining the changes resulted from self –adjustment processes? Are they able to control their behavior and give rise to changes in the surrounding environment for achieving their aims and goals? Are they marked by a high degree of perception which help them to form the relation regardless of the situation formulated into the vividness of perception ? That is to say ,what is the nature of the personal need for construction and self-adjustment and their relationship with the cognitive insight? Thus , the current paper aims at finding out : 1. the personal need to construct among secondary school students of the sample according to the variables of gender and specialty. 2. self-regulation among the secondary school students of the sample according to variable of gender and specialty. 3. the cognitive insight among the secondary school students of the sample according to the variables of gender and specialty. 4. the correlational relationship of statistical significance between the perception need to construct and cognitive construct among the sample and according to the variable of gender and specialty. 5. the correlational relationship of statistical significance between the self-regulation and cognitive insight among the sample and according to the variable of gender and specialty. 6. the extent to which the personal need contributed to the construction and self –regulation in explaining the variance resulted from cognitive insight according to the variables of gender and specialty.
